Cleaning up the parts are kinda like mud wrestling, assembly takes a whole lot of time.

Do you know why C clips are referred to as Jesus clips, because they fly into the air and disappear.

Upper unit. I am trying to determine, with Wolftalk, to figure out where 4 wires go to, they were cut. These are more photos of the unit.

The reel "clock Assembly" was in piss poor shape.

Just to give some credit for all of my slot machine repairs. Wolftalk is a great guy for helping me out.

Good news the reel assembly is complete. The electrical will need some work on cleaning.

110V cord installed, just like the old one, except that I solder the wires before I crimp the white wires.

Now my problem, the reels in the deepest cut out in the stop index wheel doesn't match up for the stop reels. For now I have everything back together, and once I find a solution then I will fix it.

I have the stop index wheels figured out.

Still working on the reel mechanism, aligning the wipers, everything is slick as snot. Keep on getting things put back together.

Using 831-ZE as a similar wiring diagram, this will help out a lot.

I pulled my meters out of my stash, and took them apart and repaired them. Two are now working excellent.

The meter bracket is being shipped.

It's really awesome when you have a slot machine like this one with a hopper in excellent condition, the wiring not cut up, reels in excellent condition.

The only issue is that the upper unit wiring, that needs some work, however you really can't complain about it. The upper unit is in good condition overall, I am replacing the light bulbs as usual.
